I knew some day I'd actually write something that did not include a shout about what we're doing on the show. And, my very dear friends, as Mr McCain would begin, this day has arrived. I've been startled to watch two developments anger and shake our respective Coalitions of The Reasonable, without the obvious deflating corollaries apparently dawning on anybody.

Firstly, Senator Clinton's appearance with O'Reilly is more pathetic and revelatory than it is outrageous. Secondly, the "Manchurian Candidate" meme voiced by Coultergeist might be taken down and later used against her.

Read the whole story here.

now that obama has said he will do o'reilly, we'll see 1700 comments saying it is so heroic and brave incredibly big of him to do that show! olbermann will do a 180 and suddenly see the move as not "pathetic" and "revelatory" when hillary did it, but "smart" and "dignified" - Obama is "reaching out" to blue collar workers and lunch pail democrats. after the appearance olbermann will declare obama's performance as flawless. don't bother to set your tivo.

GrammyinPA,
I am sorry granny, you should "Go Away Keith O. far far away.", not Keith Olbermann, He's one of the rare people on TV, who gathers accurate information, and takes the blow-hards like Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly to task.

I think Olbermann does a remarkable job taking on and frankly destroying the fascist right. Just look at the troll count. O'Reilly and his alter head are simply out gunned.

http://www.light-to-dark.com/bill_o_ailes.html

But then the entire FOX Propaganda Network isn't going to expand your mind or satiate intellectual curiosity. It's an angry, empty, descriptive narrative, day in and day out-a reflection of a very shallow and greedy corporate socialist mind.

http://www.light-to-dark.com/murdochs_enslaved_red_states.html

To think that even without the Fairness Doctrine, Murdoch's fifty screamers remain unable to convince America that it would be better off as a corporate police state. Every day, more and more people are turning to real news and honest information sources. They're discovering a whole new world beyond the noise of right wing polarizers and agitators.

Shallow is never durable.

It's the truth that is taking FOX down, one point at a time. Thank you, Keith and Dan.

lthuedk_1,
The fact is, neither Hannity nor the next blow-hard O'Reilly, does what Keith Olbermann does, which is gather facts, and then do the rebuttal, to FauxNews "reporters" distortions, fictions and lies. O'Reilly, Hannity, et al operate on the premise, they are talking to idiots with no memory, so they can say one thing today and something else tomorrow, and none of their ditto heads have the common sense to know better and challenge them. Keith always has his facts, with dates and times, to back up his criticisms, which is fine with me.

There is no difference between Olbermann and O'Reilly. They're the same exact thing, same exact type of broadcasting.

I enjoy the way Olbermann greases up his fans on HuffPo and over at Daily Kos. He might as well just send you money.

He's a smart guy, and you're none the wiser.

Clinton went to O'Reilly to trash Obama about Wright which is completely different from Obama going to Wallace's show where didn't trash Clinton but spent most of the hour defending himself and his campaign. What Clinton did on O'Reilly amounted to gutter politics.

The most telling point he makes is that Clinton has been reduced to cuddling with Fox deadbeats because she's blown all her money and can't afford legitimate advertising. But what I like about the Clinton-O'Reilly love nest is that he is another sexually harassing womanizer, just like her hubby. She must have felt right at home, struggling to get a word in and trying with all her might to impress a man who shows contempt for her with his every action. THAT is Hillary, in a nutshell.

Keith is the only real journalist on MSNBC. And the only one with intelligence. Without his Countdown I would never watch that network.
MSNBC has been appalling in their shallow attempts to gain the nomination for Hillary. Trotting out the likes of Buchanan and letting Scarborough use 3 hours everyday to promote the republican agenda to gain that nomination for Hillary.
The fact is that the media is now playing stenographer to the Clintons and trying to keep Hillary's pathetic hopes alive.
The Clintons have been playing with the republicans in the effort to continue their dynasty and are tearing the party apart and the unofficial nominee. Now the media is helping out.
What the major media doesn't understand is that it is not the old, tired faces of insider Washington like Clinton and McCain that driving up ratings. They take out Obama by the constant character assassination 24/7, the ratings take a nose dive.

The Clintons have aligned themselves with the " vast right-wing conspiracy" against Senator Obama and fellow Democrats. Hillary is now friends with Richard Mellon Scaife - the architect behind the " vast right wing conspiracy", courts Rupert Murdoch, appears on Bill O'Reilly's Show twice, gets support from Ann Coulter and Bill Cunningham. Bill Clinton even puts in an appearance on Limbaugh's radio show. Clinton surrogates, Ed Rendell and Terry Mc Auliffe, tell Fox News that it is a great News Channel. Lanny 'Gotcha' Davis is always on Fox News attacking Democrats. Davis loves smearing other Democrats ( "the far left" he snarls) on Fox News (especially with his buddy, Sean Hannity). Hillary started out life as a Goldwater girl - she is returning to her roots.

Bill Clinton once represented hope - his wife personifies fear, hate, cynical calculation, manipulation and a willingness to say or do anything in order to get power.

The last straw for many of us with the Clintons came when Hillary Clinton said that both she and John Mc Cain had passed the Commander-in-Chief test but that Barack Obama had not. This was outright treachery from the Clintons. No wonder Rush Limbaugh has told his listeners to vote tactically for Hillary so that chaos occurs in the Democratic Party. Hillary followed in behind Bush/ Cheney on Iraq when it was popular and she now adopts a similar belligerent neo-con line on Iran on the day of the Pennsylvania vote.

It amazes me that her supporters don't see a problem with her on Fox. The network that was hell bent on taking them down. She's the next Liebermann. She's gone beyond the point of return. She'll lose the nomination and she'll be treated like an outcast and she brought this on herself.

Of course OReilly would try to make nice with Hillary. He probably thinks McCain is not going to make it , because he is too much like Bush and Hillary is Bush or McCain lite. She is the status quo.

Few that engage here are likely fans of O'Reilly.

And yet, without question, his interview of Clinton was far superior to Olbermann's.

Or Olbermann's 'interview' with Bill Clinton. That, of course, was ages ago-before Olbermann decided Bill Clinton was a racist bastard. But, a whole year and a 1/2 ago, Olbermann conducted one of the most embarrassing 'interviews' ever recorded. Olbermann was happily licking Bill's backside and stroking his ego to a practically pornagraphic degree. But, at one point, outdid himself by, after bringing up Bill's charity work, actually pulled out a personal check made out to Clinton's foundation, and handed it to him. During the interview. Murrow would be so proud. How many ethical lines did Olbermann cross-I lost count.

BillO's interview of Hillary was probably the best of the entire year of primaries. I despise BillO and have never watched his show other than this interview. He blew me away with the questions, the pushing, probing and his whole demeanor. They were totally in their elements and Hillary's performance was awesome. I was very proud that she is my candidate.
